I have a texture-quality problem that I believe is related to RE graphics. My
application displays terrain with a map textured on the surface. When run and
displayed on an Indigo2-XZ (6.2), the texture quality is high and map text can
be read at a reasonably close distance from the terrain surface. However, when
run and displayed on an Onyx RE2 (5.3) or an IR (6.2) (both locked down to one
processor) the texture quality is low and map text appears blurred even at
mid-range distances.

Now, the same terrain (.obj) and texture displayed with Perfly is of high
quality on all three machines. It appears that the problem is related to RE
graphics and Perfly avoids it somehow. My inspection of Perfly's source code
revealed nothing obvious. Any pointers would be appreciated.
